People have been getting their ears pierced for thousands of years? What those ancient people probably didn't know is that it's really important to take care of your ears after they're pierced. Pierced ears may look cool, but infected ears do not! So the Moms both Shilpy and Jasleen have to be extra careful & watchful so that the piercing heal healthy.
An Expert advise:
"Before you clean your new ear piercings, wash your hands with antibacterial soap, then dip a cotton ball in a saline solution made for piercings. Leave the earrings in your ears as you swab the piercing with the cotton ball. Gently rotate the earring 2-3 times as you clean to make sure the antiseptic gets inside the piercing. Clean each ear, but make sure to use a new cotton swab to prevent infection. Repeat this 3 times a day for the first several weeks after you pierce your ears."
You're probably wondering if it hurts when the earring or needle goes through. It does, but most kids find that this pinching feeling doesn't last too long.
Only four days back, Jasleen had taken Heer for ear piercing, who did it so courageously.
Jasleen so glad after piercing.
Heer remained unperturbed and rather enjoyed.
Shilpy had blocked a date with her doctor four weeks back. So Geet gladly went to the Doctor excitingly. After reaching the clinic, she wanted a diamond ear rings. or She wanted to go to Mall as there were lots beautiful varieties. Geet did not feel the first pinch but felt second one a bit.
Finally Geet was so happy and gave gorgeous poses below:
A scintillating and sterling performance by Gobind Singh Kapoor,14 in 'Spring Concert' was accomplished May 14, 2018 at sparkling 600 seater proscenium theater of Performance Art Center, Dougherty Valley High School, San Ramon, Ca. Gobind conducted Symphony no. 39 (Allegro Assai)... Frank Joseph Haydn. He was vigorously supported by the Jam Packed house with cheers of ‘Gobind Singh Kapoor’.
Conducting an Orchestra is highly sophisticated and intricate job to control every sound with the simplest of gestures to make an immediate and perceptible effect. One has to have a talent to convey the mood of serenity, or of serene grandeur to both orchestra and the audiences. Gobind understands the theme well but he has a long and hard road to cross.
A Grand Performance Arts Center Entry
600 Seat Sparkling Proscenium theater
Todays performance was the outcome of absolutely persistence efforts of last seven years by Gobind himself who was fully supported by the family. His stint with a leading group of Berkeley Youth Orchestra for last two years groomed him a lot. Transporting him every Saturday to their location about 40 miles away was arduous task for Shiv who took the brunt of the load but was at times supported by grandparents in me & Harvinder and the Mom Shilpy. But the results have been amazing. His regular Cello teacher Andy, a prodigy himself, has also been consistently and religiously home tutoring both Gobind and sister Jania to tune up their Cello playing skills.
The family did not believe that Gobind in reality will be leading and conducting one of the songs during the Spring Concert of Dougherty Valley High School. It is rare that a turbaned Sikh has ever conducted an Orchestra. He might not become the Mastero like his compatriot Zubin Mehta from Indian soil but definitely he is inching with a tiny step towards that goal.
A turban has been leading in Wars, Politics, Sports and Academia but leading/conducting an Orchestra is admittedly rare. Feeling humbled and grateful to Waheguru ji for offering such an opportunity to young Gobind. Me and our family felt elated by his First ever conducting an Orchestra show but could not bring traditional flowers for the performer due to lack of preparedness on our side.
Waheguru ji may continue to bless him!
Leaving home for the Concert, For a change Gobind was particular to have a turban of matching color to his bow and Cummerbund of his tuxedo.
The Turban rises to the sky

If you are a North Indian and especially if you are a delhite , You must be aware of some popular places in Delhi such as : Mori Gate, TeesHazari, Mithai pul , Gurudwara Moti Bagh (Nanak Pura) etc . Now please read this write up to know the history behind these names 👇🏾
It was the year 1783 when Sikh leader Baba Baghel Singh conquered Delhi back from the Mughal king Shah Alam. On 11th March 1783, the Sikh army marched bravely to Delhi on horses and elephants and unfurled a Nishan Sahib at Red Fort. Thousands of Sikhs celebrate the day as Fateh Diwas, while the date as per the Gregorian calendar differs every year.
Born in the 1730s in village Jhabal Kalan, Amritsar, into a Dhillon Jatt family, his forefathers had converted to Sikhism during the time of Guru Arjan Sahib in the 1580s. Baghel Singh first invaded Delhi on January 8, 1774, and captured the area up to Shahdara. The second invasion was on July 17, 1775, when the Sikhs captured the area around the present-day Pahar Ganj and Jai Singhpura. Majority of the fighting took place where present-day New Delhi is located. Shortage of supplies forced Sikhs to temporarily halt their conquering spree, but Red Fort was the final aim. On 11th March 1783, the Sikhs entered the Red Fort in Delhi and occupied the Diwan-E-Aam where Mughal emperor Shah Alam II.
Emperor Shah Alam II reconciled with the Sikhs and offered treaty and accepted their terms, including construction of Gurudwaras on Sikh historical sites. Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, where Guru Tegh Bahadur had been executed on the orders of Mughal king Aurangzeb and Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, where the Guru’s remains were cremated were established by him. He has also been credited with the establishment of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Gurudwara Bala Sahib, Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tilla, Gurudwara Moti Bagh, Gurudwara Mata Sundri and Gurudwara Baba Banda Singh Bahadur.
Not many know but even today Delhi stands witness to the brave act of Baba Baghel Singh. The place where Baba Baghel Singh stopped with his troop of 30,000 men in Delhi, is now known as Tees Hazaari. When the Mughal emperor got to know that the Sikhs are planning to attack Delhi, he ordered all the gates of the Red Fort be closed, especially the ones with access to the rations so that the Sikhs run out of food and go back. Some of the Sikhs, though, accidentally came across a mason who informed them about a part of the wall of the fort which had caved in, but the exterior was intact. The Sikhs reached the spot with the help of the mason and rammed logs of wood through the wall and entered. This place is now known as Mori Gate, where the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT) now stands. After winning the Red Fort, the Sikhs distributed sweets. The place is now known as Mithai Pul.
This year, Delhi Fateh Diwas was celebrated on 21st March.
When we talk about Indian history, especially pre-British era, why do we leave out the glorious history of the Sikhs? Their courage to stand up against forceful religious conversions to Islam? The brutal treatment of the Sikhs on hands of the barbaric Mughals? Why is Mughal history whitewashed and taught in school syllabus across the country and Sikh history pushed away in the background? Let us pledge to read and talk a bit more about our heroes, lest it is forgotten.
